Just like I promised I would post this copy cat recipe of Raos spicy arrabbiata sauce up this week! This recipe is identical to the Raos sauce you’ve probably had by now, I know its a fan favorite but come on $9 for a jar of sauce is insane. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe and make it often like I do, its a very simple and easy recipe to follow and make and also allows you to control the sodium intake.

This sauce is sweet, spicy and has the right taste of flavors without over powering it. Not only will it save you a lot of $$$ but you can also make extra batch and freeze it. Check out my notes below in the recipe for helpful suggestions, tricks and tips.

Notes

  • Try to use the brand Cento San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes for this recipe because this is whats going to give you the same taste as Roas.
  • Feel free to +/-  the sugar because not all tomatoes are created equally and acidity might be different for each canned tomatoes.
  • You can let the sauce simmer on med/low heat up to an hour if you have time, but 20 mins is good enough.
  • Once sauce is completely cooled, transfer into ziplock bags and place in freezer, good for 3-6 months.
  • If you want the sauce to be smoother in consistency, run the immersion blender a few times and blend until you have the desired consistency.
